Why Having a Daycare Fundraiser is a Necessity

Daycares, just as many other organizations do, need to raise money to help with day-to-day costs of running the facility. That is why having a daycare fundraiser is a necessity. This is not however what the parents of the children want to hear. Why? Have you ever seen a 2-year-old come up to your front door and ask you to buy a tub of cookie dough? Parents are the ones that are stuck with having to do the fundraiser for their children. With an open mind, they realize the benefits.

One of the main benefits is that it helps to lower their weekly cost. Being that many parents spend more each month on daycare expenses than they do on their car payment, they realize the high expense associated with daycare. This is usually not as organized as you might find a fundraiser being in an elementary school. The order forms are sent home with the children along with a letter explaining what is going on. Many parents find that it is easier to just take the order forms to their workplace. Here they have the freedom to leave the order form in the break room and then after a couple of days, go in and see all the sales that have added up. This will also ease the delivery process for they just have to bring all the items to one place.

Taking care of someone’s child is a huge responsibility and is not trusted to just anyone. By participating in the daycare fundraisers, parents also realize that the money raised allows the daycare to have more money so that they may be able to hire the best caregivers available. It is a business, just like any other, and by having professional daycare workers taking care of children, parents are able to feel more comfortable able where they are leaving their children.

One thing that daycares are offering the parents is the ability to be able to log into the daycare’s website and see their children playing. This equipment is not cheap and without a daycare fundraiser, this viewing might not be possible. When it comes to daycare fundraisers parents should get a big pat on the back. They do all of the selling, in turn allowing the best for their children each and every day.

coffee and tea fundraiser

The popularity of coffee is undeniable. What was once just a morning ritual has become an all-day affair. Take advantage of this demand with a coffee fundraiser. Give your supporters their caffeine fix and perk up your profits.  You will sell 10 oz bags of freshly ground coffee for $20 each. There are seven great flavors along with a gift coffee tin. Even though there is no off-season for drinking coffee, coffee and tea seem to sell more easily in fall and winter.

What You Should Know

Tea and Coffee fundraisers are very similar to candle fundraisers. You will make a specific profit percentage on every item you sell. For tea and coffee fundraisers you make 50% profit, or $10.00 each.
